The Sage LinkedIn Group, the largest Sage-related group on the popular business social network, today announced the launch of a new website for the group.

The website was built by Hall Web Services, a Sage Preferred Vendor, who developed the site free of charge to help foster the growth of the community. The new site boasts a fresh and simple web design and is powered by WordPress, an open-source blogging platform that allows for ease of management.

“We were happy to work with the group to provide a site that is easy to manage and user-friendly,” said Amanda O’Brien, Inbound Marketing Manager at Hall and Project Manager on the site. “The group’s administrators can easily add articles, upload photos, link to resources on YouTube and show spotlight members. The site is tied in with all of the social networking tools used by the group so that people interested can quickly find the other places they can interact with the group online.”

Interested visitors can now subscribe to the site using an RSS feed, like they would a blog, receive email updates from the site, connect to the group on LinkedIn, as well as follow the group’s Twitter feed. The Twitter feed features updates about the group, as well as news of general interest to the Sage and B2B software reseller community.

With more resources than ever and easier methods of sharing information and connecting with its members, the Sage LinkedIn Group looks forward to continuing to provide a valuable online community for those in the Sage reseller, employee, and alumni community.

Amazee is an internet platform that empowers individuals and organizations to initiate and promote their ideas and plans in projects, to find like-minded people and raise funds. Amazee is the global action network! Examples of successful projects on Amazee are: Building an IT learning center in Sri Lanka, planning meetings of internet entrepreneurs in Zurich or ensuring the complete supply with running water in a small South African village.
Amazee is built for globally-minded activists who want to use the web for collective action. Thus their goals become projects on Amazee and these projects come to life.
Each project on Amazee has its online publication medium: the project magazine. Via an intuitive interface users can add a large variety of so called widgets to these magazines. Among many other things there are gallery, blog and event planning widgets which can be combined into a very attractive package. Amazee provides interfaces for the most important online platforms. Projects can be embedded in other places and therefore spread virally – for example on the Iphone or on Facebook.
The collaboration of members in projects on Amazee is being empowered by different state-of-the-art tools such as calendars, discussion boards, polls and chats, event planning modules etc. The networking of users on Amazee happens via projects and common goals. A “Livestream” informs all members about the latest activites and supports a lively exchange among these members.
